Video: Fanuelle, “Body Romana”

A lot of new music can fall through the tracks when you're laid up Thanksgiving napping, but I wanted to be sure Fanuelle’s incredible "Body Romana" video, which premiered last week on Line of Best Fit, wasn't one of them. Admittedly, the track is a 2005 reissue, dug up by Sweden's great label Emotion—stream the masterwork of DIY keyboard pop below—but the visuals are all-new. Following a Trinidadian bike modder, who was once profiled by the New York Times, riding around Queens, the out-in-the-world video is a clever reversal of what we've heard about the reclusive Fanuelle, a Manhattan native who supposedly wears earplugs all day. It really couldn't look cooler.
